| Stands alone as a fast-paced trip in a near future world. Never dull, but you better hang on, because this is a constantly changing landscape and a varied and dangerous cast of characters. I've never read anything quite like it and I thoroughly enjoyed it all the way to the finish | ||||

| An entertaining yarn, both blessed and cursed by it's 'near future' setting. Stephenson managed to nail some technologies well before they eventuated, but he also demonstrates the dangers of extrapolating current tech. This adds an amusing and slightly nostalgic air that wouldn't have applied in the early 90's. The story itself seems a tad linear to me now and it feels like there is at least one missing chapter but Stephenson's word-craft is such that I felt it a worthy read. | ||||

| Considered by many to be a foundational novel of the cyberpunk genre, this novel hs an essential core story thy is compelling and engaging. The characters are well-developed and fun. The dystopian industrialist future and virtual reality tropes are familiar, and some re surprisingly dated, but keep in mind this we one of the first of this genre. Highly recommended, an interesting contrast to William Gibson and other peers. | ||||

| This month, I've read my first William Gibson ("Neuromancer"), Philip K. Dick ("Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"), and Neal Stephenson ("Snow Crash"). William Gibson is that guy who wears black all the time and never talks in class, but you ran into him on a rock climbing outing and he actually seems pretty OK. Philip K. Dick is the guy down the hall who talks all the time and seems really nice, but you're kind of worried about him. And Neal Stephenson is the CS major who shows up to your party with his own bong and sits on your futon BS-ing until 3am, but you invite him to your next party anyway because the stuff he says is so random and you sort of enjoyed it in spite of yourself. His explanations for how the mythology ties in with the technology are especially ridiculous. But it's such a loopy ride and you have to give him credit for even attempting to pull together so many threads into something coherent. Stephenson's arrogance as a coder comes through pretty strongly, but in the doofiest way imaginable (programmers' brains are primed to interpret raw binary! Wahhht?) As for his prose, your mileage may vary; the first few chapters, where he's doing most of his world-building, are the most difficult in this regard. I read the sample and said "Nah", but I eventually went back for the rest. Some people absolutely love his style, though; I'm not enamored, but it wasn't a dealbreaker, either. One critical error he did make was tying the book into a time; his future is already in our past. You may find this totally frustrating. It might help to approach the book from a fantasy or speculative alternate history perspective. And while the book gets fairly dark in tone at times, there's a lot of flat-out silly, Wile E. Coyote stuff throughout. Actually, I learned from the afterword that "Snow Crash" was originally envisioned as a digital graphic novel, and then everything made a LOT more sense. Think of it as a comic book in words, and it's a lot easier to just sit back and enjoy the ride. | ||||

| This book came out a long time ago, but still impresses me even though technology has moved on. I thought that the present tense style of storytelling suited it well and was handled very impressively. The characters were also very likeable. | ||||

| While there are some smart things in there - the pseudo parodical style is not really of my taste... this and the sumerian story. | ||||

| I've read 6 Neal Stephenson novels and enjoyed them all immensely, but this is an unmitigated disaster. There are numerous very basic structural problems that render it completely nonsensical. - Characters are literally in two places at once in some scenes: i.e. Hiro rescuing Y.T. in one part of the city, and being in his storage unit logged into the metaverse at the same time. - Other characters have entire arcs set up only to never be paid off: i.e. Y.T.'s relationship with Uncle Enzo. - Plot devices aren't even paid off: i.e. Raven's nuclear bomb. - In the middle of major action sequences there are huge gaps in time: i.e. Hiro finally gets to the raft only to spend weeks (?) floating in the ocean waiting to be rescued? Or he finally makes it onto the raft, and sits down and plays on his computer for hours while guys with guns are hunting him? - Massive character leaps occur "off screen": i.e. Hiro all of a sudden goes from a poor nobody to a rich guy with fancy gadgets literally from one scene to the next. And at the end Hiro talks about all the hangouts and meals he and Y.T. have shared and yet in the book they've only ever even met a couple of times and barely know each other. - There are huge swaths of mostly unimportant dialogue that gets repeated for no reason: pretty much anything to do with the virus. - Strange conversations take place indicating previous interactions that have never happened: the entire motorcycle conversation between Hiro and Raven for example, which comes out of nowhere, makes no sense, and is totally pointless. - The end just happens: not only does the ending fail to payoff almost every major and minor character arc, but the finale involves characters that are so secondary to the plot that you couldn't care less about them. They're essentially movie extras, and the main cast isn't even in the vicinity. It would be like if at the end of Star Wars instead of Luke flying down the Death Star trench with Darth Vader behind him, it was Wedge followed by Grand Moff Tarkin. Think about how crazy that is. And these are just structural problems. I'm not even taking into account how many grains of salt you would have to take in order to get past the whole ancient Sumerian verbal virus in the first place, or other outlandish jibberish. The number of positive reviews for this are shocking, but even more unbelievable is so few people mentioning these MAJOR plot and character issues. I can get past, and even enjoy, the intentionally cartoonish style. I can get past the intentionally racist stereotypes. I can even get past the absurd sexualization of the 15 year-old and her "sexy" rape scene. I cannot, however, get past the fact that the very basic framework of the book doesn't even make sense. | ||||

| It was a great read. Who would think that a pizza delivery kid would be the hero?!? Caused some deep thinking about the genesis of computers and people. | ||||
